wanna use NSW

hi guys i dont wanna start the debate over NSW vs Synthetic.well salt is not cheap so i wanna try NSW only if its worth it. wanna collect water from ushaka.Is the water ok.Can i put it straight into my tank or do i need to filter it first, run carbon po4 or any other stuff.

Wolve I use NSW that I collect from North Beach (Straight in front of my place). What I do is collect early in the morning before lots of bathers visit the beach. Let the S/Sw blow for a day or 2 to clear up the water, and then go and collect. The water at Ushaka is fine aswell. I use the water in less than an hour after collecting.

where at ushaka do yo u go to collect water? is it better to get it there than from the shore line?

You got to obtain a permit, and you can collect from just outside the entrance where we entered for the behind the scenes. Lot of guys say it is safer, I have no used it. I have always collected in knee deep water and my SPS and fish are happy. Make sure you dont collect from a beach that is full of bathers or where there is storm water outlets. There's a lot of coastal reefers that collect water from out shorelines.
